A marvelous environment

Last night the team put up camp in the dark and only this morning, woke up at a good hour, to realize what a place we had set up camp. The position was splendid with an amphitheater created by 5 feet of sand, that protected us from the wind.The dunes mainly surrounded us, but the view was fantastic and from sunrise and sunset it continually changed color. The composition of the land in this part of the desert is not only sand, but a mix of wind-carved stone and sand. All of our thoughts run to Carla and Fabio, who in a few days will cross this area, and we will meet them if they do not have any great problems in the trek. The morning was spent making repair attempts of the transformer of the pc, everyone is used to making a way to reuse things, but not without luck and many attempts, they are not coming out completely. The team is looking to get a new transformer from Cairo and is anxiously awaiting for a positive response. Although all of the climate and hopeful and everyone hopes it gets better.In the afternoon the other appointment was a little poker, where George and Renato continued to win, the team dedicated to taking video and photos to immortalize the trip continues.
